Put your foreach loop into a sub (say it's called search_dir, then change your code to this:

chdir("/")||die "Error:$!\n"; opendir(ROOT_DIR,"/")|| die "Error:$!\n"; search_dir("/","/"); sub search_dir{ my ($dir,$fullpath) = @_; foreach $dir_cont (sort readdir($dir)){ next if $dir_cont =~s/^\.\.?$/; if (-f $dir_cont){ log_sbit($full_path . $dir_cont) if (-u $dir_cont || -g $dir_cont) +; } elsif (-d $dir_cont && opendir(SUB_DIR,"$dir_cont"){ my $new_full_path = $full_path . $dir_cont; search_dir($dir_cont,$new_full_path); } }

This code is untested. I just added the $full_path so you could keep track of the full path and I put it all into a sub. So far you have the right idea. You just need to put your logic in a routine you can call over and over again. Once you get it right, check out File::Find.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
